How to make bangs using your hair

Ensure your hair is completely dry and brushed smooth. Cutting wet hair can lead to uneven results because hair shrinks as it dries.

Using your comb, create a triangular section of hair at the front of your head. The point of the triangle should be at your crown, and the two bottom corners should align with the outer corners of your eyebrows. Use hair clips to secure the rest of your hair out of the way.

Comb the sectioned hair straight down over your forehead. Decide where you want your bangs to fall. A good starting point is usually around the bridge of your nose or just below your eyebrows. Remember, you can always cut more off, but you can't put it back on.

Hold the hair between your index and middle fingers, pulling it taut but not stretched. Instead of cutting straight across, hold your scissors vertically or at a slight angle and make small, snip-like cuts upwards into the hair (this is called "point cutting"). This creates a softer, more natural edge rather than a blunt, harsh line. Cut a little longer than your desired length initially.

Let the hair fall naturally. If needed, comb it again and trim any uneven pieces using the same point-cutting technique. You can also slightly angle the scissors to create a subtle curve or blend the sides into your longer hair. Style your bangs as desired to see the final result.
